Color prejudice has established a deep resentment within America’s roots. The disparity that lies between the teachings of early civilizations versus those taught now highlights the biased values advertised in Western society. The…

Reading journal articles for my classes, I was fascinated by the challenges and problem-solving process of research in general. Since Cooper Union has limited resources for research as a small engineering college, I was delighted to learn of this opportunity. With such passion in research, I was able to have an independent study course in school with one of the biological engineering professors and researched the DNA synthesis process. As a member of an International Genetically Engineered…

time people fail. Another thing is that when you follow a detox plan, you do what a dieting plan does, but faster. It shouldn’t take a genius to decipher the meaning behind “detox”. To put it in simple words, to detox means getting read of all the impurities in your body, which are toxins (also known as antigenic poison),…

where a lot of children playing around the edge of a cliff. He envisions that he would catch them if they go over the cliff. The children who are playing around the edge of a cliff represent innocence and what lies below the cliff represents the impurity of life that many people have fallen. Holden’s dream of becoming a “catcher in the rye” shows that he wishes to preserve the children from the phony adult world in which people have been turned to senseless and blind creatures by the social…

The fundamental principle of recrystallization is to use the difference of solubility according to the temperature, which makes some impurities remain in solution in order to get higher purity. Because of its reason, depending on several factors such as the volume of solvent, the speed of recrystallization, the shape or structure, size, and purity can be changed. And this is the reason…

Located in the Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory, the McArthur river zinc mine is one of the world’s largest zinc deposits of its kind. The mine first started in 1995 with the opening of the underground mine. The mine further developed in 2007-2008 with the opening of the open pit mine.

One of my old friends watched me eating a raw beef, which is perfectly fine in my culture. Raw beef in Ethiopia is considered ”kings meal” and people have eaten raw beef for centuries. My friend however, did not understand that watching me eating uncooked meal and he displayed disgusted face reaction as if I was practicing cannibalism. He asked me why I am eating raw beef and said that is disgusting. I was shocked and I asked if he eats Pig, then he replied no! That is “dirty”. How about pork I…

When one thinks about a hero, oftentimes what comes to mind is a large, brooding man with hulking muscles and a beautiful girl on his arm.

In Sophocles's…

in all of that. Although we “should” be doing all of those things, it doesn’t meant that we are. What we are however, is exactly how Paul describes us as in Colossians 3:5. We are “earthly” and therefore have our earthly sins, “Sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” (ESV Colossians 3:5) We still feel exactly what Paul writes in Colossians 3:8, “Anger, wrath, malice, slander.” (ESV Colossians 3:5) As Christian people, who intend to follow Christ,…
